Hello! My name is Sanette Tanaka Sloan, and I like to design and write. Currently, I’m an interaction designer at Google.

Previously, I was a senior product designer at Vox Media and worked on the audience-facing experience and design system across our eight editorial brands and partner brand—Vox, SB Nation, The Verge, Eater, Polygon, Curbed, Racked (RIP), and Recode, and The Ringer. Before that, I was a reporter at The Wall Street Journal, where I wrote award-winning features and profiles, a weekly column, and the inaugural cover story for WSJ’s luxury real estate section. I believe my journalism background has greatly informed my approach to design.

I studied non-design things at Duke University, and doubled down in my graduate years, earning a MSc. in Creative Digital Media with an Interaction Design concentration from the Dublin Institute of Technology, where I studied as a George J. Mitchell Scholar.

After spending the past five years in New York City, I recently moved to Boulder, Colorado, for a breath of fresh air.
